STORY
Cocaine production and trade are extremely high risk businesses. Nevertheless, in the past decennia, cocaine has become increasingly popular around the world. How does this drug get from the producer to the consumers? For the last 40 years, Colombia has been the green heart of global cocaine production. The camera records the journey of the processed cocoa leaves from the jungles of Colombia to uptown Paris, resulting in dangerous situations and expressive footage.

For over a thousand years South American indigenous peoples have chewed the leaves of Erythroxylon coca, a plant that contains vital nutrients as well as numerous alkaloids, including cocaine. The coca leaf was, and still is, chewed almost universally by some indigenous communities. The remains of coca leaves have been found with ancient Peruvian mummies, and pottery from the time period depicts humans with bulged cheeks, indicating the presence of something on which they are chewing. There is also evidence that these cultures used a mixture of coca leaves and saliva as an anesthetic for the performance of trepanation.
When the Spanish arrived in South America, most at first ignored aboriginal claims that the leaf gave them strength and energy, and declared the practice of chewing it the work of the Devil. But after discovering that these claims were true, they legalized and taxed the leaf, taking 10% off the value of each crop. In 1569, Nicolás Monardes described the practice of the natives of chewing a mixture of tobacco and coca leaves to induce "great contentment":
When they wished to make themselves drunk and out of judgment they chewed a mixture of tobacco and coca leaves which make them go as they were out of their wittes.
In 1609, Padre Blas Valera wrote:
Coca protects the body from many ailments, and our doctors use it in powdered form to reduce the swelling of wounds, to strengthen broken bones, to expel cold from the body or prevent it from entering, and to cure rotten wounds or sores that are full of maggots. And if it does so much for outward ailments, will not its singular virtue have even greater effect in the entrails of those who eat it?[

Evo Morales swept to power promising a social revolution which included legalising coca cultivation. A year on, America is so worried Bolivia is becoming a 'NarcoState', it's slashed funding.
"These are the coca leaves that we step on. This is the paste", states Roberto, showing us around his cocaine factory in the jungle. Promoting alternative uses of coca, such as in tea, is the heart of the government's policy. "The coca leaf is a cultural issue and part of our identity", explains MinisterFelipeCasares. Officially, the jungles of Bolivia are producing fewer tonnes of cocaine paste. But Morales' policy of 'Coca Yes, Cocaine No' has the sceptics worried. As SenatorRafael Loayez states; "If we have this very permissive policy, we are going to have a problem with drug trafficking."

Peru, one of the world's leading producers and exporters of cocaine, has seen the illicit trade boom in recent years.
The industry's growth has prompted the country's government to plan an anti-drug campaign.
Some experts blame the authorities for not taking enough action to stop the drug trade, while poor coca farmers say the government's failure to help them economically has forced them to continue in the business.

STORY-LINE:
In provinces all over Colombia, cocaine is the driving force behind the local economy.
And here in the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC controlled Caqueta it is no different - in fact this area is one of the biggest cocaine producing regions of the world.
Deep in the jungle, the process begins with peasant laborers cutting down the leaves of the coca plants.
They then transport it to a cocaine-making lab - hidden from watchful eyes by thick foliage.
The coca leaves then get cut into small pieces and placed into gasoline and other chemicals.
The then unrefined cocaine paste is made into blocks and then dried in a microwave.
Peasants sell their coca paste to drug dealers for about 780 U-S dollars per kilogram.
According to the estimates of the U-S Drug Enforcement Administration, by the time that kilo has been refined, cut and sold on the streets of a major U-S or European city, it is worth as much as 170 thousand U-S dollars.
Peasant farmers say they have moved to the region and left there farms behind because the get paid a steady income.
Colombia is in the grips of not only a deadly civil war pitting guerrillas against paramilitaries and government troops, but also an
economic recession.
However, the farmers who sell the coca paste on say that they are not the ones reaping the huge rewards made by drug traffickers.
At the cocaine market, drug dealers weigh and test the purity of the cocaine before they purchase.
Here, on a typical weekend, as much as 440 pounds of coca paste changes hands.
The dealers then pay what they say is between 220USD and 350USD per kilo to the rebels.
The Colombian military and the U-S government is increasingly saying that they have evidence that the FARC is not only taxing peasants but also drug trafficking.
The rebel commander in this area says they do tax every phase of cocaine producting but he rejects charges that they have become a cartel.
Meanwhile, Colombia is stepping up its plans to fumigate coca plantations with the U-S backed Plan Colombia.
But for the moment, life continues here as it always has.

Coca

The plant is grown as a cash crop in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, even in areas where its cultivation is unlawful.
It also plays a role in many traditional Andean cultures as well as the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (see Traditional uses). Coca is known throughout the world for its psychoactive alkaloid, cocaine. The alkaloid content of coca leaves is low, between 0.25% and 0.77%.
This means that chewing the leaves or drinking coca tea does not produce the high (euphoria, megalomania, depression) people experience with cocaine. Coca leaf extract had been used in Coca-Cola products since 1885, with cocaine being completely eliminated from the products in or around 1929. Extraction of cocaine from coca requires several solvents and a chemical process known as an acid/base extraction, which can fairly easily extract the alkaloids from the plant.

Description

The coca plant resembles a blackthorn bush, and grows to a height of 2–3m (6.6–9.8ft). The branches are straight, and the leaves are thin, opaque, oval, and taper at the extremities. A marked characteristic of the leaf is an areolated portion bounded by two longitudinal curved lines, one line on each side of the midrib, and more conspicuous on the under face of the leaf.

Etymology

Similarities

There are many diverse cocas, with four main varieties: sweet, savoury, closed and open. All of them use dough as the main ingredient, which is then decorated. This dough can be sweet or savoury. If it is sweet, eggs and sugar are added, and if it is savoury, yeast and salt. As regards the topping or filling, fish and vegetables are usual at the coast whilst inland they prefer fruit, nuts, cheese and meat. Some cocas can be both sweet and savoury (typically mixing meat and fruit).

Types of coca

Coca is almost any kind of bread-based product. Its size can vary from 5cm up to 1 metre. There are various presentations:

Peru's cocaine industry skyrockets

Peru, one of the world's leading producers and exporters of cocaine, has seen the illicit trade boom in recent years.

For over a thousand years South American indigenous peoples have chewed the leaves of Erythroxylon coca, a plant that contains vital nutrients as well as numerous alkaloids, including cocaine. The coca leaf was, and still is, chewed almost universally by some indigenous communities. The remains of coca leaves have been found with ancient Peruvian mummies, and pottery from the time period depicts humans with bulged cheeks, indicating the presence of something on which they are chewing. There is also evidence that these cultures used a mixture of coca leaves and saliva as an anesthetic for the performance of trepanation.
When the Spanish arrived in South America, most at first ignored aboriginal claims that the leaf gave them strength and energy, and declared the practice of chewing it the work of the Devil. But after discovering that these claims were true, they legalized and taxed the leaf, taking 10% off the value of each crop. In 1569, Nicolás Monardes described the practice of the natives of chewing a mixture of tobacco and coca leaves to induce "great contentment":
When they wished to make themselves drunk and out of judgment they chewed a mixture of tobacco and coca leaves which make them go as they were out of their wittes.
In 1609, Padre Blas Valera wrote:
Coca protects the body from many ailments, and our doctors use it in powdered form to reduce the swelling of wounds, to strengthen broken bones, to expel cold from the body or prevent it from entering, and to cure rotten wounds or sores that are full of maggots. And if it does so much for outward ailments, will not its singular virtue have even greater effect in the entrails of those who eat it?[

Promoting alternative uses of coca, such as in tea, is the heart of the government's policy. "The coca leaf is a cultural issue and part of our identity", explains MinisterFelipeCasares. Officially, the jungles of Bolivia are producing fewer tonnes of cocaine paste. But Morales' policy of 'Coca Yes, Cocaine No' has the sceptics worried.

STORY-LINE:
In provinces all over Colombia, cocaine is the driving force behind the local economy.
And here in the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC controlled Caqueta it is no different - in fact this area is one of the biggest cocaine producing regions of the world.
Deep in the jungle, the process begins with peasant laborers cutting down the leaves of the coca plants.
They then transport it to a cocaine-making lab - hidden from watchful eyes by thick foliage.
The coca leaves then get cut into small pieces and placed into gasoline and other chemicals.
The then unrefined cocaine paste is made into blocks and then dried in a microwave.
Peasants sell their coca paste to drug dealers for about 780 U-S dollars per kilogram.
According to the estimates of the U-S Drug Enforcement Administration, by the time that kilo has been refined, cut and sold on the streets of a major U-S or European city, it is worth as much as 170 thousand U-S dollars.
Peasant farmers say they have moved to the region and left there farms behind because the get paid a steady income.
Colombia is in the grips of not only a deadly civil war pitting guerrillas against paramilitaries and government troops, but also an
economic recession.
However, the farmers who sell the coca paste on say that they are not the ones reaping the huge rewards made by drug traffickers.
At the cocaine market, drug dealers weigh and test the purity of the cocaine before they purchase.
Here, on a typical weekend, as much as 440 pounds of coca paste changes hands.
The dealers then pay what they say is between 220USD and 350USD per kilo to the rebels.
The Colombian military and the U-S government is increasingly saying that they have evidence that the FARC is not only taxing peasants but also drug trafficking.
The rebel commander in this area says they do tax every phase of cocaine producting but he rejects charges that they have become a cartel.
Meanwhile, Colombia is stepping up its plans to fumigate coca plantations with the U-S backed Plan Colombia.
But for the moment, life continues here as it always has.

STORY
Cocaine production and trade are extremely high risk businesses. Nevertheless, in the past decennia, cocaine has become increasingly popular around the world. How does this drug get from the producer to the consumers? For the last 40 years, Colombia has been the green heart of global cocaine production. The camera records the journey of the processed cocoa leaves from the jungles of Colombia to uptown Paris, resulting in dangerous situations and expressive footage.

Farmer Makes Cocaine From The Start Until The Very End

For over a thousand years South American indigenous peoples have chewed the leaves of Erythroxylon coca, a plant that contains vital nutrients as well as numerous alkaloids, including cocaine. The coca leaf was, and still is, chewed almost universally by some indigenous communities. The remains of coca leaves have been found with ancient Peruvian mummies, and pottery from the time period depicts humans with bulged cheeks, indicating the presence of something on which they are chewing. There is also evidence that these cultures used a mixture of coca leaves and saliva as an anesthetic for the performance of trepanation.
When the Spanish arrived in South America, most at first ignored aboriginal claims that the leaf gave them strength and energy, and declared the practice of chewing it the work of the Devil. But after discovering that these claims were true, they legalized and taxed the leaf, taking 10% off the value of each crop. In 1569, Nicolás Monardes described the practice of the natives of chewing a mixture of tobacco and coca leaves to induce "great contentment":
When they wished to make themselves drunk and out of judgment they chewed a mixture of tobacco and coca leaves which make them go as they were out of their wittes.
In 1609, Padre Blas Valera wrote:
Coca protects the body from many ailments, and our doctors use it in powdered form to reduce the swelling of wounds, to strengthen broken bones, to expel cold from the body or prevent it from entering, and to cure rotten wounds or sores that are full of maggots. And if it does so much for outward ailments, will not its singular virtue have even greater effect in the entrails of those who eat it?[

Inside Bolivia's Legal Cocaine Factories

Cocaine Factories - Bolivia - The Bolivian government's new stance on Coca leaf plantations being legal, has the USA worried about the consequences.

Evo Morales swept to power promising a social revolution which included legalising coca cultivation. A year on, America is so worried Bolivia is becoming a 'NarcoState', it's slashed funding.
"These are the coca leaves that we step on. This is the paste", states Roberto, showing us around his cocaine factory in the jungle. Promoting alternative uses of coca, such as in tea, is the heart of the government's policy. "The coca leaf is a cultural issue and part of our identity", explains MinisterFelipeCasares. Officially, the jungles of Bolivia are producing fewer tonnes of cocaine paste. But Morales' policy of 'Coca Yes, Cocaine No' has the sceptics worried. As SenatorRafael Loayez states; "If we have this very permissive policy, we are going to have a problem with drug trafficking."

Peru's cocaine industry skyrockets

Peru, one of the world's leading producers and exporters of cocaine, has seen the illicit trade boom in recent years.
The industry's growth has prompted the country's government to plan an anti-drug campaign.
Some experts blame the authorities for not taking enough action to stop the drug trade, while poor coca farmers say the government's failure to help them economically has forced them to continue in the business.
Al Jazeera'sLucia Newman reports from Peru's southern Vrae Valley, the world's densest coca producing region, in the first of a two part special.

STORY-LINE:
In provinces all over Colombia, cocaine is the driving force behind the local economy.
And here in the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC controlled Caqueta it is no different - in fact this area is one of the biggest cocaine producing regions of the world.
Deep in the jungle, the process begins with peasant laborers cutting down the leaves of the coca plants.
They then transport it to a cocaine-making lab - hidden from watchful eyes by thick foliage.
The coca leaves then get cut into small pieces and placed into gasoline and other chemicals.
The then unrefined cocaine paste is made into blocks and then dried in a microwave.
Peasants sell their coca paste to drug dealers for about 780 U-S dollars per kilogram.
According to the estimates of the U-S Drug Enforcement Administration, by the time that kilo has been refined, cut and sold on the streets of a major U-S or European city, it is worth as much as 170 thousand U-S dollars.
Peasant farmers say they have moved to the region and left there farms behind because the get paid a steady income.
Colombia is in the grips of not only a deadly civil war pitting guerrillas against paramilitaries and government troops, but also an
economic recession.
However, the farmers who sell the coca paste on say that they are not the ones reaping the huge rewards made by drug traffickers.
At the cocaine market, drug dealers weigh and test the purity of the cocaine before they purchase.
Here, on a typical weekend, as much as 440 pounds of coca paste changes hands.
The dealers then pay what they say is between 220USD and 350USD per kilo to the rebels.
The Colombian military and the U-S government is increasingly saying that they have evidence that the FARC is not only taxing peasants but also drug trafficking.
The rebel commander in this area says they do tax every phase of cocaine producting but he rejects charges that they have become a cartel.
Meanwhile, Colombia is stepping up its plans to fumigate coca plantations with the U-S backed Plan Colombia.
But for the moment, life continues here as it always has.

Coca

The plant is grown as a cash crop in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, even in areas where its cultivation is unlawful.
It also plays a role in many traditional Andean cultures as well as the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (see Traditional uses). Coca is known throughout the world for its psychoactive alkaloid, cocaine. The alkaloid content of coca leaves is low, between 0.25% and 0.77%.
This means that chewing the leaves or drinking coca tea does not produce the high (euphoria, megalomania, depression) people experience with cocaine. Coca leaf extract had been used in Coca-Cola products since 1885, with cocaine being completely eliminated from the products in or around 1929. Extraction of cocaine from coca requires several solvents and a chemical process known as an acid/base extraction, which can fairly easily extract the alkaloids from the plant.

Description

The coca plant resembles a blackthorn bush, and grows to a height of 2–3m (6.6–9.8ft). The branches are straight, and the leaves are thin, opaque, oval, and taper at the extremities. A marked characteristic of the leaf is an areolated portion bounded by two longitudinal curved lines, one line on each side of the midrib, and more conspicuous on the under face of the leaf.
